The Best Irish Coffee in the World

April 1, 2007 by admin

I happen to make the best Irish Coffee in the world. I learned how to do this in a small meson in Madrid, but I have since gotten even better at it than the bartender at that establishment, where I studied long and hard under his tutelage.

The Recipe

  • One Irish Coffee glass (preferably with shamrocks and a gold rim),
    failing that, any smallish glass about 5 or 6 fl. oz.
  • One long shot of good espresso
  • Two fingers of decent Irish Whiskey (Jameson or Bushmills)
  • Two tablespoons brown sugar
  • FRESH heavy cream, laced with a dollop of white sugar, beaten until it’s the consistency of custard, but not whipped to fluffiness. In Madrid they refer to this heavy thick sweet cream as “nata”.

Procedure

  1. Have everything prepared and ready before you start assembling as time is of the essence. Get your nata prepared and keep it nice and cold.
  2. Pour the whiskey and brown sugar into the Irish Whiskey glass together.
  3. Then use the espresso steamer to heat the whiskey until it is good and hot and the brown sugar is dissolved, about eight to ten seconds.
  4. CAREFULLY put a match or lighter to the glass and flame the whiskey for a few seconds. This adds a “je ne sais quoi” to the flavor, and cuts down the alcohol, bringing the caffeine and alcohol into perfect balance.
  5. Pull your shot, and dump it into the whiskey/brown sugar mixture. Between the espresso and the whiskey, your glass should be about 3/4 full (that’s why you don’t want to use a real big glass).
  6. Carefully lay down a carpet of the “nata” over the warm coffee/whiskey mixture right to the top of the glass. Then, before the nata gets warmed up, enjoy the cool, rich cream juxtaposed against the hot, strong coffee/whiskey.

Personally, I find these very addictive and therefore don’t drink them very often. New Year’s was the last time. But I can guarantee that you will never taste a better Irish Coffee than by using this method. I’ve had Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista in San Francisco which claims to be the world’s best, and it is a poor cousin to this one. The key is great espresso, the cool nata, and flaming the whiskey.

These can also be made with Spanish brandy, but I prefer to stick with the Irish coffee.

The Coffee-Storage Conundrum: How to Keep Beans Fresh

Let's look at bags first. If your favorite coffee can be found in a supermarket or other kind of store, and isn't scooped as whole beans or ground fresh on-site, look for brands packed in bags with a one-way valve. They are common. You can spot the valve, which looks like a little round button, near the top of the bag. In addition to protecting contents from moisture and light, one-way-valve bags … [Read More...] about The Coffee-Storage Conundrum: How to Keep Beans Fresh
